ERT003: White House with Mark French - Leadership in a 21st Century School




At our next stop on the EduRoadTrip, we met Mark French at the White House. The White House is a symbol of leadership in the United States, and we invited Mark to discuss leadership characteristics and development. Mark is the principal at Rice Lake Elementary in Maple Grove, MN. Be sure to listen in to hear about our Travel Agent, Mike Tempesco, and hear about TodaysMeet, an excellent backchanneling tool we pulled out of our suitcase.

Main Segment


Mark French, Principal at Rice Lake Elementary


Mark French discusses about what makes a good leader, including the top characteristics of leaders which are relationship-builder, curious learner, and effective communicator. He models these in his school, and encourages growth and leadership development of all teachers willing to step up to the challenge. Additionally, all leaders must be intentional, be prepared, and be a role model.
